This is probably one of the most exciting camera from Lomography! The Belair camera! Received a newsletter with an offer to do a pre-order with 30% off and I went ‘whoaaaa!’ when I saw them. The specs looks yummy too!
Specs taken from their website says …
– A totally original medium-format camera with automatic shutter settings.
– Takes breathtaking 6×12 panoramic photos as well as 6×6 square format and 6×9 photos.
– Exchangeable lens system for experimentation and flexibility.
– High quality lenses crafted by an experienced optics team.
– Hot-shoe for flash attachment.
– Bulb setting for beautiful long exposures and multiple exposures!
– Extensive ISO Range: 50-1600.
It allows interchangeable lenses … between a 58mm and a 90mm.
Now 6×12 is gonna be hell fun (and burns lots of film)!
I couldn’t resist but to place a pre-order for it. Of course I went for the cheapest version which is the black City Slicker. Since I have a 10% discount code with me … I didn’t think twice and proceed to pre-order myself an early Christmas present. 😀
The silver + leather ones sure look neat but they costs a hundred bucks more … so I’ll just settle for the black version. Too bad it will ship only in December and I won’t be able to bring it along for my vacation next month. 🙁
** UPDATE : All thanks to Jimmy from ThirtySix … now I’ve changed my order to the silver Globe-trotter. He told me that I should get the silver one because it is the metal version. Gosh … I didn’t realise the black one is plastic! Not that I’ve got anything against plastic cameras (my Dianas are plastic!) but I sure hope this one is metal. Jimmy … I won’t have money for beer til Christmas now! 🙁
Anyone else pre-ordering?
